AM4 lives forever. In about 10 years, there will be a massive amount of working AM4 CPUs looking for still functioning AM4 motherboards Edit: To be clear CPUs outliving motherboards is nothing new but, given the lifespan of AM4, the ratio between still functioning motherboards vs CPUs is bound to be more pronounced in later years

AMD Had to do ONE of TWO things....Either Drop the Prices Generation to Generation (I.E. The Ryzen 5 9600x should be $199.99, and the Ryzen 7 9700x should be $299.99) or increase Core Count, Generation to Generation (i.e. Ryzen 5 9600x should've been 8-Core/16-Thread and sell for $299.99, yeah it cost more than the 7600x at launch, but it has TWO more cores, and competitive with the previous Gen Ryzen 7) . If you're wondering the 6-Cores would become Ryzen 3 or stay Ryzen 5 with a lower number. The 9600x could've become the Ryzen 3 9300x or Ryzen 5 9400x. If Ryzen 9 can have 12 and 16 cores, Ryzen 5 can have 6 and 8 Cores.

New High-End Computer is becoming Niche-Super Niche with only Gamers/Scientific Modeling/Home Labs jumping the gun. When people say "seconds/milliseconds matter" they're a very specific market without a lot of volume. Chances are, they're probably still on 2-3 gen upgrade refresh similar to gamers. The 9K series is really meant to capture people from the 3K... Maybe even 5K Ryzen customers. But people are still hesitant to upgrade...

My ASRock X370 motherboard is still getting updates. I currently have a 5800x with 32gb of RAM and a 6700xt but they put out an update for the 5800x3d so I could even get that if I wanted to. Idk if they'll do anything for the 5600x3d or 5500x3d but for a first gen Ryzen board, it's still going strong as my HTPC. I got it at launch for $220 and I have zero complaints about buying it. Well done ASRock.

[@ThatMetalheadMan]

AMD is giving us every chip in the 5000 series with X3D at the end of it aside from the one I wanted all along: 5950X3D. With none of that "one CCD has it and one doesn't" nonsense.

[@superpandabacon]

On one of GN’s videos of AMD, some of their engineers were testing a some kind of 5950X3D (both ccd with vcache). THAT will be the holy grail of AM4. Hope they release it so I can finally replace my 5800x3d without buying new memory or mobo

I’ve been watching the show for over a year now and, no matter how much the channel grows, your news reporting and opinions have generally felt well grounded and in touch in my opinion. In the techtube space, it’s always annoying when personalities become too involved on the business/legal/enthusiast side of things and start talking down the “average user” for not being able/willing to do things like try a new OS, troubleshoot issues, etc which you frequently bring up thankfully.

5500x3d would be good for gaming but for productivity it is not good. The clock speeds are the lowest on 5000 series.

I can (try to) answer the question "What is AMD doing". Designing vastly improved chiplets for EPYC that will totally sweep the market for workstations, servers (clouds, AI and so), make a tone(s) of money, while for desktop will have 2 different lines. The nonX3D for general purpose and/or multitasking and the X3D for gamers. This is a new beginning with more distinctive segmentation between products. At this point of Zen5 release, a lot don't make sense to the majority... but this is not over yet I think. We will know for sure after the X3D parts. I'm only trying to make some sense of what is happening.

Google Pixel is becoming a really good phone, but sadly the CPU and GPU performance is abysmal for the price they're asking, Apple is trying to run console games on iPhone while Google is pushing more AI, as a gamer and game developer I'd take faster CPU + GPU over faster NPU (assuming Google didn't lie about it either).

​@rmHawk765 Its more of a general power example than anything. As someone who doesnt use AI features, an NPU is a worthless waste of money, space, and power. Working GPU drivers within 6 months on the other hand, would have been great (Sd 8 Gen 3)
